Banat.
After selling his share of his parents' farm, Johann Herman Kraushaar emigrated in 1786 with his wife and 9 children (1 was born later in the new Banat homeland).
His father and mother, Johan Jodokus and Maria Elisabeth Korte-Kraushaar may also have emigrated. From then on, Maria Elisabeth Korte-Kraushaar's sister, Maria Catharina Kraushaar-Steckebrock, managed her parents' farm in Deutmecke. After arriving in Banat, in what is now Romania, the family settled in Hatzfeld. In the early years, life in Hatzfeld and throughout Banat was very difficult. Many people died of illness. Many of the Kraushaar family also died at a young age.
According to family history, the Kraushaars were wealthy farmers until Nikolaus Kraushaar sold the farm for a few barrels of wine after a catastrophic flood. The family never recovered from this. Nikolaus Kraushaar's son, Franz Kraushaar, became a barber in Hatzfeld and his sons, Franz and Peter, also pursued this trade. In 1911, Peter and Franz Kraushaar finally emigrated from Romania to America. However, Peter first traveled to America from Cuxhaven in 1909. He and his brother Franz then finally settled in Cincinati in 1911. On September 7, they sailed to New York on the SS Cincinati. They arrived at Ellis Island on September 17, 1911.
